Steps to reproduce: >>> import APNSWrapper >>> a = APNSWrapper.APNSNotification() >>> a.alert(u"BLAHBLAHBLAH") <APNSWrapper.notifications.APNSNotification object at 0x426c70> >>> a.badge(4) >>> a.tokenHex(<YOUR_KEY_HERE>) <APNSWrapper.notifications.APNSNotification object at 0x426c70> >>> b = APNSWrapper.APNSNotificationWrapper(certificate=<PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE>, sandbox=True) >>> b.append(a) >>> b.notify() True

The device will set the badge correctly (to 4) but it won't show any alert message. This is because there is no alert message sent, since it's unicode.

I've included a patch below.

APNSProperty does not also handle unicode as the data.

if not isinstance(data, (int, str, list, tuple, float)): should be: if not isinstance(data, (int, str, list, tuple, float, unicode)):

I also run into this issue and had to encode the msg in UTF-8 before pushing it : msg.encode("utf-8")

Morever, I'm having issue trying to push the '\n' char in a message like "This is a \n test". Did anybody manage to achieve that ? :/

I working on it these days so there's a lot of changes is coming - so please, be patient, I will release new version if few days

This bombs: alert.loc_args([u"Márcio"])

I had to patch line 73 of notifications.py to look like this:

self.locArgs = [ '"%s"'.encode('utf8') % x.encode('utf8') for x in la ]

Make that

 self.locArgs = [ '"%s"'.encode('utf8') % unicode(x).encode('utf8') for x in la ]

(so that it can eat any values, like teh original code).
